What is PwnTunes?

As we all know there are many many different MP3 players out there but the Apple iPod Touch & iPhone have dominated the market as the best media player around!
But even though we all love the device, many of us hate the restrictive iTunes system lockdown on our music and files. You’re tied down to syncing your device with only your home PC or you run the risk of losing everything on your iPhone or Touch.

Why can’t you just plug it into any PC as you can do with just about every other mp3 player in the world!?

NOW YOU CAN!

With PwnTunes It’s as easy as plugging your sync cable into your Windows PC.
Then it’s as simple as browsing your file explorer to copy your files from your iPhone/Touch to your PC. or you can drag items from the PC to your iPhone/Touch!
drag, drop & go!

What can you do:

Drag pictures from your camera roll to any PC

Drag Music from your iTunes synced music library to any PC

music files are translated from the encoded gibberish file names into a user friendly list based on the original file name as it would be on your PC

After the loading of iTunes Music folder has finished, you can delete songs from it (and from iPod library) via USB

Add music from any PC to your device & it will automatically import into your iPod app.

ID3 tags from MP3 & M4A files will also import track info and album art

support for tags from other music types not yet supported

Limited Tag Management:

Loads Folder.jpg/folder.jpg/cover.jpg/Cover.jpg from same folder as cover

Uses Folder’s name (if in a folder) as album name when no album ID3 tag found

Uses Parent Folder’s name (if in a folder in a folder) as artist name when no artist ID3 tag found
(My Music/Artist Name/Album Name/Title.mp3)

var/mobile/Library/downloads folder is mapped to USB so you can manage your safari downloaded files.

Drag and save any type of file(images, videos, documents, spreadsheets, etc) onto your device to use it as a USB drive!

WTF! Common Guys! Support the DEV’s. These people bring us great apps and tweaks that you can’t get nowhere else because Apple will never release such a thing. So be greatfull and support em already. $12 is not a lot of money. I spend more on lunch every day.

I’m sure the devs are posting good supporting comments on some of these apps. Make that pretty darn sure some are. eg:Above WTF!——
I think the price is absurd when their is nothing in it that you can’t allready do for zilch.
The benefits are not that “got to have” type so he can keep his program.
Anyway I read some where on this site a comment stating that greedy devs that charge that much are asking to have their app cracked, as the incentive has increased tenfold then. Charge a reasonable price and they must sell more apps and would not lose a penny in the long run.
Oh well if paying that much money for so little advantage is O.K with you, then thats prooving of an old proverb true, “a fool and his money are soon parted”

Yea well just because an app is expensive does not make it ok to steal from a him. I mean after all its not apple we are talking about here its just a regular dev in our own jailbreaking community and hes not going to get rich off a $12 app.

So you say because the Dev sets his price high its more likely that someone cracks it? Price does not really matter. There are .99 cent apps out there that still get cracked. Who cant afford .99 cents? If that’s the case then maybe you should not own an iPhone.

^^ Agreed. Not everything in life is free bud. I jailbroke so i could add functionality to my phone that apple will never bring us. Who cares if it costs a little. At least the choice is there if you need it.

Does this even do video. Photo transfer I use iFile. Misc. files I use iFile. so $13 for one feature is a grip. I’ve paid more than that for an App, but I’ll wait for other features to be added before I spend so much.

Just sayin, wheres iRealQuick that was promised 5 months ago? Wheres the 6 month old bug fixes? In the last month there has been 1 update which added Activator support and fixed their fuck up on licenses, last release before that was 2 1/2 months ago. I don’t really count that as “developed continuously”.

I just think people should know who they are dealing with and their track record when it comes to updates and bug fixes.

ChaoticMayhem maybe you should keep your opinion about wether or not I should own an iPhone to yourself. This is a thread about an app not a place to make personal insults, so watch your mouth “so to speak”, keep on topic, and don’t get personal.

Seriously – I’m not going to pay an outrageous price like this for an app. Devs are starting to get a little too greedy for my taste. I have no problem supporting devs – but this is just too expensive a price.

ChaoticMayhem get off your Pro Dev soap box, and we care about the price of apps, maybe your inexperience in monetry matters should make you bow out of defending an issue you have one view about. An uninformed view at that. One Dev does something and others follow like sheep. I’ll bet you shut your comments up when you can’t get an app from Cydia for under $10

Yea ill bet you shut your comments up when you can’t get a worth while app from cydia at all because all the good developers stopped making apps because of unappreciative noobs like yourself. Next time you make one of your childish replies why don’t you at least make an effort to pick a name for yourself!

all the good developers who choose to charge for this shit can go somewhere else, there plenty who code for fun, not for profit.
point is n00bs like yourself don’t even seem to know that the software scene for small time coders used to be all shareware and you got it from floppies on magazine covers. now its just greedy fucks who code like crap and then dont fix bugs after they get the cash.
its why the ppl behind winzip are multi millionaires all from shareware.

Look, i simply does not work for me… I’ve tried every trick and phone is not recognized by windows, i am talking 3 different machines. Win 7 64 bit, Win Vista 64 bit and Win Vista 32 bit. None of then displays phone under device manager. I e-mailed 5 times to a support in last 5 days, no response at all.

wow… cant believe people straight up jailbreak to be cheap bastards. Did you steal your iPhone as well from some kid that has more money than you? Jailbreak doesnt mean free stuff… it means better stuff, more open apps that arent restricted by apples rules and regulations… it wasnt designed to give cheap asses free stuff… why dont you go shoplift at the local cornerstore and leave us alone here.

I agree it appears as though alot of people have simply Jailbroken their phone to grab this and that for free , I paid good money for this kick ass phone and was discusted with the limited abilities that AT&T and Apple wrote into the system , listen I don’t mind paying for things if they are reasonable and opperate well , if this isn’t your idea of a worthy app. then don’t pay for it wait till one comes around that suites your needs , I will continue to enjoy the hard work that the Dev’s have put into breaking this phones limitations … I would like to tell you all Thank You Very Much for Your Hard work and time spent in developing a means to open the full possibilities of this phone and yet when I purchase one the IPad …

I m using iOS in my iphone 4
i have installed pwntunes in my iphone, but now i cant able to sync my iphone in itunes, can any1 tell me how to sync my iphone with itunes,
i have removed pwntunes from my iphone, but still getting same problem.

i just installed pwntune in my iphone 4 ios 4.3.1 and is not working . i can not start ipod app even, because it crashed every time. what is happening.. please help me because i really wanna buy this app… but is not working and it messed up my ipod.app.

Hi I have the same problem with 4.3.1
You need to deactivate Sync in Settings for Pwntunes. At least you can start Ipod when this is deactivated. At least for me it worked. But I would prefer that it works correct like on IOS lower then 4.3.1

Hi!
I have a big problem: i downloaded the free trial of Pwntunes, but Suddenly all the applications regularly downloaded from the appstore won’t start! they crash on the start! Please help me, i also tried to delete and reinstall pwntunes but nothng seems to work. Help me! :(

There is also a way to upload and sync music to iPhone or any other idevice without iTunes using WALTR app! Works for Mac and Windows!!, it requires you just drag and drop music, with no need to convert or sync, WALTR uploads media in a couple of seconds and plays on a native playback what saves battery. For me it works the best, recommend it definitely!!!
